Episode 2 - Lateral Hip Pain: Symptoms

In this video, Alison discusses what it feels like when you have a gluteal tendinopathy or hip bursitis or a combination of the two conditions. This combination is known as Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome. Have a look at the first video in this series if you would like to know where that long name comes from!

I've been cycling most days for several years. Last year I decided to try a gym workout for my ongoing back pain, and recently I installed a swim spa, which I absolutely love, and I exercise at least twice daily in the water. It's only the last few months I've had moderate to severe hip pain which can keep me awake all night, but I didn't relate this to increase in exercise routine. So now I will be following advice to try to reduce my symptoms. Thank you again.

I've been having the pains as described for a number of years. This is the first grouping of information that has made sense. Going through all the videos in this grouping. Actually found this first on your website via a google search. Thanks Ali.

Nice .. how to get rid of this problem

I walk a lot and quite active. Walked home from work on Friday and felt fine. It wasn't until later that evening that I started to get a pain in my outer right hip. I do confess, I was stationary at my desk pretty much throughout the day. Not sure if this is what I'm currently suffering from, but I get temporary pain relief from kneeling at the side of my bed.

Thank you for the clear explanation. Seriously. I’ve been having this issue for a couple years and now it’s bad. I’m followin* your advice. Appointment is booked.

I am 35 years old female with hip pain, in addition to other health conditions. It hurts when I lay down and walk (my hip bone, both sides). I was denied surgery for my back problems which I believe caused the hip injury to get worse. I was also denied ‘free and public to every Ontario citizen’ physiotherapy by a medical clinic in Mississauga, ON near Trillium Hospital because I live on $700 a month disability (Govt stole my shelter allowance) and cannot afford $200 a month for basic private insurance. It’s supposed to be public care in Canada but I only get some prescriptions covered.

[carolynharris]

Thank you so much. Finally a great explanation.

[dougsnow]

I have that rare of all of the areas you pointed too for several years.

[ilovesnature]

Thank You so much for the explanations of why I have other areas that pain me because of my Hip. I will be getting a Hip Replacement this coming September 2023 and I sure hope this will ease the pain in areas of my back due to Osteoarthritis, and a crooked spine.

thanks very much for this series. i've had bursitis for over a decade, steroid injections are the only thing that helps me enough to be able to sleep. i did physical therapy for 6 months it helped a lot but as soon as I stopped I started getting shooting pains in the butt! i thought it was the bursitis so I went back for another injection but it didn't help! now I'm thinking it's piriformis or gtps or maybe something to do with my lumbar spine - it's so hard to figure out so thank you for the education! getting old stinks but it's better than the alternative!

I was inactive for a long time part of my get fit again was standing on one leg.Wow exactly where you had your hand on hip is agony when I sit and when I begin to walk I'm limping then it travels to the leg and foot its horrendous I'm stretching and doing as much as I can but I'm grateful for your explanation as it let's me know all these things are connected.Thankyou...

Going for Hip Surgery. Bad hips no carilage. Pain on side of hips which sometimes runs down knees. I can barely walk, can't put on soxs, difficulty getting inside car etc. Using a rollator.

[kcsunnyone]

Very helpful. Just woke up feeling this

[aelash]

You have been so helpful thank you so much Been discovering pain past week now 🙁. Thanks for your great information 😔😩

[munyaradzimunodawafa]

My pain is localized and its very painful when im climbing stairs

[kyrareneeLOA]

I go the pain... one year in after I stopped exercise. So it was immobility that brought it on, not being active.

[DeeBee-fkph]

OMG! You described all my hip issue right in the beginning What about women that have had hysterectomy's an hip issues? I know this is not a current video but my hip area is a mess I only get relief when I sit. I'd love to hear your opinion.

[gardengirl]

Greater Trocanta!!! I have every single one of these symptoms you described. I am a 73-year-old female in good health. Up until about a year ago I could walk 2-3 miles No problem. But now, I have pain on the outside of my thigh past my knee to my ankle, down my butt and in my groin. Walking is so painful, especially uphill. I’ve had to stop walking. 😢When I get up from a sitting position, I am crippled over for the first few steps. As far as I know from my last x-rays, I don’t have arthritis in my hips. So this is exactly what I have. I don’t imagine surgery will take care of the problems, so what does one do?

[nanglass]

My pain is in my back and worse right over the left hipbone. Sitting is a nightmare. It does not feel like sciatica. It does radiate to my leg making me limp. Soooo painful.

Xray says swelling in anterio lateral aspect of proximal thigh and pain in hip and femur. What could be the issue?
